Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a place at a competitive local primary like Singlegate. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can help your child build the core reading skills and confidence needed to feel prepared and thrive in a dynamic school environment. They focus on making learning fun to foster a positive attitude from the very start.
We're worried about the Year 1 phonics screening check. Can a tutor focus specifically on that?
Of course. Many of our Phonics tutors are specialists in early years education and are very familiar with the screening check. They can tailor lessons to cover all the required sounds and blending techniques to ensure your child feels ready and confident.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you make sure tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process for all tutors. We interview every applicant, verify their ID, and require a valid DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring work for a young child?
Our online classroom is designed to be fun and engaging. Tutors use an interactive whiteboard, educational games, and visual tools to keep young children focused and make learning feel like play. All your child needs is a laptop or tablet and a stable internet connection.
How do I choose the right Phonics tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile where you can watch an introduction video, read reviews from other parents, and see their experience. You can also message tutors before booking to ask questions and make sure they're the perfect match for your child's personality and needs.
How much does a Phonics tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, and you can see the hourly rate clearly on each profile. Our platform allows you to filter by price to find a brilliant, qualified tutor who fits your family's budget.
How long is a typical Phonics lesson for a young child?
You can decide the lesson length with your tutor. For younger children, lessons are often 30 or 45 minutes to match their concentration span. You can find a rhythm that works best for your child.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide you with regular feedback on how your child is doing. Most importantly, you'll see it for yourself as their confidence with letters, sounds, and reading grows week by week.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my older children learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core subjects like Maths and English, we also have tutors who can teach hobbies and skills like guitar, coding, or even learning a new language.
Is there a minimum number of lessons I have to book?
No, there are no contracts or minimum commitments. You can book as many or as few lessons as your child needs. Whether it's a few sessions to prepare for the phonics check or ongoing weekly support, the choice is yours.
Can we have lessons during the school holidays?
Yes. One of the great benefits of Tutorful is its flexibility. You can arrange lessons with your tutor at times that suit your family, including evenings, weekends, and during school holidays to keep learning consistent.
